[ it is embarrassing to hear D33 say his given name like that. He sure can say he is used to it but...Kaneki nods softly] Ken is my given name, Kaneki is my family name.

It's not strange though, everyone calls me that even back home. Ghouls don't care much for family names because they change them constantly so they will be difficult to track- [ Rize had different ones before, he remembers that. He also knows Nishio-senpai changed his ] So they often address each other by their first name. Touka-chan, Yomo-san, Hinami-chan.

I guess in my case it's still a human attachment. [ plus he never needed to change his family name since he has no plans on disappearing and changing his life ]
